“The shifts in viewpoint…are essential to the panoramic view of a vast nightmare that Turtledove strives to present. This is not alternate history intended to give readers the warm fuzzies; it is a remorseless working out of the consequences of greater follies producing even worse results than the ones we may read about in actual history. It makes one grateful to live in history as we know it rather than in Turtledove’s vivid imaginary version.”
